Maggie's Journey to 20th Century Historical Mysteries and Romance
It’s
a delight to be here on the release day for my second Lady Adelaide Mystery, Who’s Sorry Now?
More about Addie

I began my career writing Regency historicals, because who can argue with
Georgette Heyer? I wrote two series, the Courtesan Court and London List books,

8 Crazy, Awesome Memories by Sarah Raplee
Memory #1: Eight years ago, Judith Ashley and I metaphorically held hands with eighteen other dedicated writers and jumped into the virtual world of blogging. Some of us were published authors and some were not-yet-published. We were various ages, nationalities, and ethnicities from around United States and the English-speaking world. Many of us (including me and Judith, the "Blog Queens")

The Eighth Day
By Courtney Pierce
I wish there were eight days in a week instead of seven: one
day to be a responsible adult and pay the bills, two days to clean the house, and then take five days to write. Marching toward retirement
changes my thinking, not so much to slow down, but to be able to do more. That dreaded age of sixty stalks me this week, a number that means upgrading to a more expensive

Eight Author Delights
“Eight” is this month’s Romancing the Genres theme,
since our blog is celebrating its 8th anniversary. Wow! Time flies.
For my post, I decided to name eight author
delights. Well, at least this list represents my top eight writing-related
reasons to smile!
REVIEWS!
Bless the readers who make the effort to post a review of my book on Amazon,
Goodreads or their own blogs.

8 years 8 genres?!
by M. L. Buchman
Romancing the Genres began eight years ago in May 2011. Curiously enough, my career as a writer began taking off about the same time, so I find myself looking back and going...Huh!
Some of that is a really good Huh! Seven years ago my writing career took off. Why? I think it's because I created something new. The first women of the Night Stalkers helicopter regiment--the

Here's the real title: Crazy Eights - Scenarios for Your Stories
I had to laugh as the subject for this “Crazy Eights” blog
came to me when I was trying to wedge my left foot into my right boot while
daydreaming about ideas for a story conflict. Multi-tasking and wedging feet
into an uncomfortable position, reminded me of the day I picked up

Re-launching A Series by Kristin Wallace
After five years, I’m returning to my roots with the re-launch of my inspirational romance series. Covington Falls Chronicles represented my first four books, and after getting the rights back from the publisher, I’m putting them out on my own. I've missed my quirky little Southern town and the equally quirky characters who live there. Eventually, I hope to add more Chronicles. There are so many
